Verse 
 
D       G      Bm            E7 
Storm warning, feels like a heavy rain 
G             A 
Winds on the coast tonight 
G/B         A 
We may get tossed tonight 
D     G        Bm            E7 
Storm warning, he's made it pretty plain 
G                 A       G/B         A 
He's fallin' for another, found a new lover 
                D 
(and he won't be back again) 
 
 
A            D      A                     D 
Can't stop a river, when it's burst it's banks 
G              A 
I've seen the look in his eyes 
G/B                A 
He's in love and hypnotized 
 
Verse 
D        G           
Time of mourning 
 Bm               E7 
There's already been a flood of my tears 
G                A 
Such a sense of loss tonight 
G/B               A 
Nought to do but ride it out

A            D      A                     D 
Can't stop a river, when it's burst it's banks 
G             A 
I wonder how long it's gonna take 
G/B               A 
To get over this heartbreak 
 
Verse 
D       G      Bm            E7
